L78 M22 Pace Car Restoration

[bergy]

Artist at work! I’ve inspected the car several times. James knowledge & attention to factory detail is pretty special IMO.

Some updates on Bruce's pacer.
Firewall, Fisher notes under the paint.
Cleaned the tracks and gear boxes in the window regulators black chunky grease comes out - I use Mobile1 Black Pearl open face hi-tack gear lube in the gear boxes -
Laid out tracing paper to get the outline of the "mask" correct.
You can see where the hand pulling the mask got into the wet paint when picking it up.
One door had original paint so I carefully noted all of the dimensions of the stripe - it's 22-3/4" from the front edge of the door to the and tip of the stripe.

Restored the heaterbox inside and out. The pedal assembly, cocktail shakers, ZL2 flapper and solenoid frame and other brackets etc.
Rearend and complete subframe engine trans are all ready to go into the car.
the inner fenders and radiator support along with all of the wiring brakes, and glass is ready to go in as well.
Original header chrome and top latch/sunvisor mounts are frosted chrome - early replacement head chrome is painted. -
I used 2 month old crushed bottle glass(not glass beads) at 20# air pressure in the blast cabinet - dusted back and forth on the "test" piece to match up to the sunvisor mount frosted chrome.
